Description

The RenderTable::simplifiedNormalFlowLayout function in core/rendering/RenderTable.cpp in Blink, as used in Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, skips captions during table layout in certain situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via unspecified vectors related to the Fonts implementation.
